Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1. An interchanging drywall screw gun and rotary saw device kit consisting of:
 (a) a base consisting of a body portion with a handle with a trigger, the base further consisting of a drive shaft extending outwardly from the body portion of the base, the drive shaft is operatively connected to a motor, wherein when the motor is activated via the trigger the drive shaft rotates, wherein the body consists of a male attachment surface for attaching an attachment component; 
 (b) an interchanging screw attachment component that functions to install screws, the screw attachment component consists of a screw bit engaged with a shaft lock and screw drive shaft, a depth guide with depth guide latch, and a collet nut engaging the screw bit, wherein the screw attachment component can be removably and interchangeably attached to the body portion of the base via an attachment means such that the screw drive shaft engages the drive shaft of the base, wherein the screw attachment component consists of a female attachment surface for attaching to the male attachment surface on the body, wherein the attachment means consists of a lock-release system and a release button; 
 (c) an interchanging saw attachment component that functions as a rotary saw, the saw attachment component consists of a saw component engaged with a saw drive shaft, wherein a terminating end of the saw component does not engage another component but extends out and away from the saw attachment component, wherein the saw attachment component can be removably and interchangeably attached to the body portion of the base via the attachment means such that the saw drive shaft engages the drive shaft of the base, wherein the saw attachment component consists of a female attachment surface for attaching to the male attachment surface on the body, wherein the attachment means consists of a lock-release system and a release button; and 
 (d) a wrench piece for engaging the collet nut to tighten or loosen the screw bit. 
 
     
     
       2. An interchanging drywall screw gun and rotary saw device kit comprising:
 (a) a base comprising a body portion with a handle with a trigger, the base further comprising a drive shaft extending outwardly from the body portion of the base, the drive shaft is operatively connected to a motor, wherein when the motor is activated via the trigger the drive shaft rotates, wherein the body comprises a male attachment surface for attaching an attachment component; 
 (b) an interchanging screw attachment component that functions to install screws, the screw attachment component comprises a screw bit engaged with a shaft lock and screw drive shaft, a depth guide with depth guide latch, and a collet nut engaging the screw bit, wherein the screw attachment component can be removably and interchangeably attached to the body portion of the base via an attachment means such that the screw drive shaft engages the drive shaft of the base, wherein the screw attachment component comprises a female attachment surface for attaching to the male attachment surface on the body, wherein the attachment means comprises a lock-release system and a release button; 
 (c) an interchanging saw attachment component that functions as a rotary saw, the saw attachment component comprises a saw component engaged with a saw drive shaft, wherein a terminating end of the saw component does not engage another component but extends out and away from the saw attachment component, wherein the saw attachment component can be removably and interchangeably attached to the body portion of the base via the attachment means such that the saw drive shaft engages the drive shaft of the base, wherein the saw attachment component comprises a female attachment surface for attaching to the male attachment surface on the body, wherein the attachment means comprises a lock-release system and a release button; and 
 (d) a wrench piece for engaging the collet nut to tighten or loosen the screw bit. 
 
     
     
       3. The kit of  claim 2 , wherein the handle of the base comprises a first grip for comfortably gripping the device. 
     
     
       4. The kit of  claim 2 , wherein the body of the base comprises a second grip for comfortably gripping the device. 
     
     
       5. The kit of  claim 2 , wherein a clip is disposed on the base for hanging the device as needed. 
     
     
       6. The kit of  claim 2 , wherein the base further comprises a power cord operatively connected to the motor. 
     
     
       7. The kit of  claim 2 , wherein the screw bit has a diameter of about ⅛ inch, ¼ inch, or 5/32 inch. 
     
     
       8. The kit of  claim 2 , wherein the drive shaft of the base is operatively connected to a speed tab, which controls speeds at which the drive shaft rotates.
